Be sure to securely stop the running belt by pressing either the EMERGENCY button or STOP button  
Warning  
before you step up on the EC-T220.  
1. Grip the handle securely until you are comfortable  
on the EC-T220.  
2. When you are accustomed to exercise with EC-  
T220, you may exercise free from the handle,  
swinging your arms freely and naturally at your  
side.  
3. Keep your track on the center part of the running  
tread.  
Caution: While exercising, stepping on any  
part other than the running belt may  
cause you to fall.  
4. After a few seconds of exercise, the running belt  
speed will become faster.  
5. Keep your running within a distance where you  
can still reach the EMERGENCY STOP or STOP  
button and operate the treadmill.  
Caution: Stay in the center part of running  
belt area for safest operation. Slow  
down or stop your exercise immedi-  
ately if you are unable to keep up  
with the belt speed.  
Safety Key Function  
The card slot of this machine functions as a safety key when you change the setting of  
dip switch in the control unit.  
Removing the safety key from the card slot will stop the treadmill as will pushing the  
emergency stop button.  
The LCD screen lights up and then the program starts only when the safety key or card  
is inserted into the slot while the safety key function is activated. This allows you to use  
the function to prevent tampering.  
For further information relating to the procedures for how to set the safety key func-  
tion, refer to "Setting the Safety Key Function" in page 39 of the "Reference Guide"  
Reference: The program will be initiated when a key is inserted to the card slot, and  
you can use the data card as a key to initiate the program.  
Caution: For your safety, attach the clip end of the cable from the safety key to  
your clothes.  
How to Use the Safety Key

3 PUTTING ON THE CHEST-BELT HEART RATE SENSOR  
Your heart rate can be measured by the chest-belt heart rate sensor.  
The EC-T220 treadmill receives and calculates the number of heartbeats which are transmit-  
ted from the wireless chest-belt. It is therefore possible to control your heart rate during  
exercise. Accurate heartbeat measurement is possible, even for those persons whose pulse is  
difficult to detect.  
When a heart rate signal is received and calculated, a graph of the heart rate is displayed at  
the top of the LCD screen. The pulse itself is also displayed at the top right of the screen.  
When the chest-belt is not worn, the graph and pulse displays are not shown.  
The HR control training function will not operate if the chest-belt is not worn.  
Function of the chest-belt heart rate sensor  
The wireless chest-belt heart rate sensor uses a miniaturized and simplified version of the of elec-  
trocardiography concept used in hospitals. For an electrocardiogram, multiple electrodes are at-  
tached to the body, and the electric potential difference between them is used to calculate the heart  
rate. The chest-belt heart rate sensor's two internal electrodes are applied to the body and detect  
the electric potential difference, providing a simpler way of detecting heartbeats. This information  
is sent to the control unit by radio waves, so even hard training is possible. The chest-belt heart rate  
sensor uses the chest-belt (transmitter) and the signal-receiving circuit board (receiver) contained  
in the control unit to read your heart rate and calculate and display your per-minute pulse.  
Before putting on the chest-belt heart rate sensor  
Warning  
Pace maker users should never use this device.  
Caution:  
Put on the chest-belt heart rate sensor at the center of your chest and in con-  
tact with your skin.  
To increase measurement effectiveness, dampen the electrode area with wa-  
ter or electrocardiograph electrolyte cream.  
People with sensitive skin can put on the chest-belt over a thin shirt with  
electrode area damped with water.  
Hair on the chest may interfere with accurate measurements.  
Putting on the chest-belt heart rate sensor  
Put it on following the procedure below.  
Attachment belt  
1. Adjust the length of the attachment belt to fit your chest.  
Caution: May be painful if tightened too much.  
2. Hook the attachment belt to the electrode belt. Place the electrode  
area at the center of your chest. Be sure that the electrode area is held  
firmly against your skin.  
Hook  
Reference: When wearing the chest-belt heart rate sensor over a  
shirt it is necessary to moisten the electrode area for the  
better results. In the winter season when skin can be  
dried, errors may occur even when the electrodes are in  
direct contact with your skin. This can be improved by  
moistening the electrodes.  
Electrode belt  
3. Adjust the belt so that the transmitter is at the center (just above your  
diaphragm) of your chest.  
Reference: When wearing the chest-belt heart rate sensor over a  
shirt it is necessary to moisten the electrode area for the  
better results.  
Electrode area  
Transmitter  
The chest-belt heart rate sensor uses a lithium battery.  
The lithium battery has a limited lifetime; when chang-  
ing the battery, refer to the Reference Guide, page 38,  
"Maintenance of the chest-belt heart rate sensor."

5 THE 4 KINDS OF PROGRAMS  
HR control training (Training at a set pulse rate)  
• You set a target pulse rate at which you want to exercise and the Model EC-T220  
automatically adjusts the incline to maintain your pulse rate close to the desired  
level. This is ideal for effective aerobic training.  
• As you continue to exercise at a certain pulse rate and make progress in your fitness  
level, you will be able to exercise more easily at the same pulse rate. Consequently,  
you will then be able to exercise at a higher target pulse rate.  
Reference: The "HR" of HR training means "heart rate" (the same as pulse rate).  
Interval training (Repetition of a pattern of exercise and rest,  
tailored for a serious workout)  
• By switching back and forth between exercise and rest periods of varying length,  
interval training gives you the kind of program that serious athletes often use to build  
up their total power.  
• On the model EC-T220, 3 patterns of interval training programs are available for  
developing sprint power, speed, and endurance respectively.  
PRF-1: dash strength training (sprint power)  
30 seconds of exercise followed by a 90-second rest.  
PRF-2: speed training (anaerobic power)  
60 seconds of exercise followed by a 120-second rest.  
PRF-3: endurance training (aerobic power)  
120 seconds of exercise followed by a 60-second rest.  
• Choose one of the above patterns, and adjust the intensity by selecting your desired  
speed and incline.

Hill profile training (Casual mountain climbing)  
• The incline changes to simulate the effects of climbing up and down mountains. The  
changing patterns of the incline are shown on the screen.  
• The following three types of mountain profiles are programmed.  
PRF-1: the Rockies  
PRF-3: the Pyrenees  
PRF-2: the Cascades  
• The mountain profiles from 1 to 3 are arranged in order of difficulty.  
Try to start with a profile that looks easy enough for you.  
• Choose one of the above patterns, and adjust the intensity by selecting your desired  
speed and incline. When you change the incline pattern, it will be reflected through-  
out the whole pattern.  
• The preset training time is 15 minutes.  
If you set a longer training time, the same pattern will repeat to match the training  
time.  
Quick start (Manual training - training at a set belt speed)  
• You designate the belt speed and it stays constant regardless of your pulse rate. This  
is the basic, traditional way the treadmills have been utilized.  
Setting range: 0.5 - 12 mph (Adjustment increment: 0.1 mph)  
[1.0 - 18.0 km/h (Adjustment increment: 0.1 km/h)]  
0 - 12% (Adjustment increment: 0.5%)  
Upper pulse limit alarm  
• For your safety, the upper pulse limit alarm is provided in all programs of the EC-T220. If your pulse rate exceeds this  
limit, the alarm buzzer sounds and the belt speed automatically drops to the minimum. This function urges the user to  
stop the exercise.  
• When your pulse rate has dropped back to within the pulse rate upper limit, restart the exercise by pressing the START  
button and raising the speed manually.

6 USING THE EC-T220 WITHOUT A DATA CARD  
The blue card you used for your first session serves to input the type and conditions of training. But it is also possible to do the same  
thing without the card, by using the buttons on the control unit.  
You need the chest-belt heart rate sensor for the HR control training. You must put on the chest-belt heart rate sensor around  
your chest, as per the instruction on page 12.  
Turn on the power supply.  
• Insert the AC plug of the AC adapter into any household AC outlet.  
• Turn on the power switch, located on the front of the main body.  
• On the screen, the initial display is shown, and a message prompts the  
user to insert a data card or select a training mode.

1 TRAINING GOALS  
Training goals  
Pulse rate (bpm)  
200  
Do you feel out of breath after climbing up the stairs or after a brisk walk? While  
walking, running, or even sleeping, our body is taking in oxygen and generating  
energy. Oxygen taken in by the lungs is sent to the entire body via the circulatory  
system. If the function of the circulatory system, i.e. aerobic power, is insufficient,  
we may experience being "out of breath," or other physical problems.  
That's why we perform "health for the heart" (aerobic exercise), which causes  
the heart to work a little harder a few times a week, thus increasing the oxygen  
supply to the body via the circulatory system. The purpose of exercise with the  
EC-T220 is to improve both your physical condition and the function of the circu-  
latory system - to improve your aerobic power.

Target pulse range for thos  
undergone special training  
Training plan  
To effectively perform "health for the heart," it is necessary to find out the appro-  
priate target pulse rate for your age and fitness level, and to exercise at a pulse rate  
close to that target. If the exercise intensity is beyond your current fitness level, you  
may damage your health, and if the exercise is below your target rate, you may not  
receive any benefit. The EC-T220 has 4 different types of exercise modes, including  
"HR control training," in which the incline is adjusted by the computer to keep  
your pulse rate close to your target.  
TARGET  
How to determine your target pulse rate  
• When you input your age, the EC-T220 automatically sets your target pulse  
rate by [160 - your age]. This target pulse rate corresponds to 50 - 60 % of  
the "exercise level" for people in their twenties, 40 - 50% for the forties and  
30 - 40 % for the sixties. The older you are, the less intense the setting of  
your target pulse rate, according to the programming of the EC-T220. For a  
beginner, the exercise level automatically set by this unit could be too hard  
even for a young person. If you feel it is too hard, you can decrease the  
target pulse rate by 10 bpm from the original level. If you feel it is too easy,  
you can increase it by 10 bpm so that you can continue to exercise in the  
appropriate target zone, as shown in the illustration.  
100  
90  
20  
30  
40  
• At less than 30% of the exercise level, you can not exercise effectively.  
The desirable target pulse rate corresponds to 70% of the exercise level for  
people in their thirties or younger, 60-70% of the exercise level for the for-  
ties, 50-60% of the exercise level for the fifties, and 50% of the exercise  
level for people who are sixty or older.  
• If you can continue your exercise at the target pulse rate of [180 - your age],  
your exercise can be considered effective enough. Upgrade your exercise  
gradually so that you can reach the suggested final target of [190 - age].  
Exercise time for each session  
• A minimum of 30 minutes of exercise is most effective for each session of exercise. A 5 minute warm up period, 20 minutes  
of exercise time, with a 5 minute cool-down period, is suggested for standard exercise.  
For weight-loss exercise, over 30 minutes exercise time at a comfortable level, with a 5-minute cool-down, is recommended.  
Frequency of training  
• A Minimum of two days of exercise a week is required just to maintain your present fitness level. With 3-4 days of exercise,  
you can expect improvement. Always consult with your doctor before proceeding with any exercise program.  
Concentrated and repeated exercise in a day may produce an adverse result.  
For those who are confident of their exercises ability  
• When an age which is younger than your actual age is selected, the target pulse rate calculated by the selected age can be  
set higher than that of your actual age.  
If the target pulse rate is raised according to the procedure above, the upper limit of the pulse rate is raised simultaneously.  
Be aware of your physical condition and start training.

Terminology  
Target Pulse Rate Chart  
Maximum Heart Rate  
The heart rate increases according to the intensity of exercise, but there is  
a limit. The highest heart rate that a person can sustain is called the "maxi-  
mum heart rate". Generally the maximum heart rate declines as we get  
older, however this differs between individuals, and is largely due to how  
much a person exercises.

Maximum pulse rate (204 - 0.69 x Age)  
The difference between heart rate and pulse rate  
The heart rate is the number of heartbeats per minute measured by an  
electrocardiograph. On the other hand, the pulse rate is measured as fol-  
lows.  
From the palpations of an artery near the skin surface, such as the ca-  
rotid artery

heart and pulse rates have the same value per minute, and are therefore  
regarded as synonymous.

Pulse Limit  
For the standard maximum heart rate, "220 - Age", "204 - 0.69 x Age", and  
other formulas are used. In the EC-T220, however, "200 - Age" is used,  
taking into account a certain safety margin, and is incorporated in the  
computer setting.

Target Pulse Rate  
The pulse rate you should maintain during a workout is called the "target  
pulse rate". The automatic training program allows you to stay close to  
this target, but it is recommended that you always be conscious of your  
pulse rate, even when performing different types of training programs, by  
referring to the "Target Pulse Rate Chart". You can input a target pulse  
rate up to 85% of the maximum pulse rate.

Age  
Exercise Level Based on the Pulse Rate  
Pulse rate increases according to the intensity of the exercise. In other  
words, the pulse rate during exercise is a measure for the exercise level.  
The exercise level can be expressed in percentages by using the following  
formula.  
Pulse rate during exercise - Pulse rate at rest  
Exercise level(%) =  
x 100  
Maximum heart rate - Pulse rate at rest  
Therefore, if you want to determine the target exercise level (target pulse  
rate) from the pulse rate, you can calculate as follows.  
Target pulse rate = (maximum heart rate - pulse rate at rest)  
Exercise level(%)  
x
+ pulse rate at rest  
100  
If you are a beginner, you can start the exercise with a target pulse rate of  
"160 - your age". If you can continue your exercise at the target pulse rate  
of "180 - your age," your exercise can be considered effective enough.  
Upgrade your exercise gradually so that you can reach the suggested final  
target of "190 - your age".

2 TRAINING PROGRAM CHARACTERISTICS  
HR control training  
This training program is for exercising while maintaining a set pulse  
rate. The incline of the running belt will change automatically so that  
the set pulse rate is maintained. The speed can be adjusted however  
you like. If the chest-belt heart rate sensor cannot pick up your pulse  
rate, this program will not work.  
The exercise intensity is set by your target pulse rate (beats per  
minute = bpm). Select your target pulse rate from a lower position in  
the target zone for your age.  
If the target you select is difficult to achieve, reduce the target pulse  
rate by 10 bpm, and continue. Continuing is what is most important  
here. There is no reason to overdo it from the beginning.  
For those who are confident enough, the target pulse rate can be  
increased in 10 bpm increments. Refer to the target zone in the illus-  
tration on pages 22 and 23.  
The exercise time (alarm) is initially set for 20 minutes, but you can  
change it in 1-minute increments to any value in the range from 0 to  
99 minutes. The current conditions on the LCD screen advance  
along the time scale once every 3 seconds. When 10 minutes is ex-  
ceeded, the screen will scroll leftward by 5 minutes.  
Exercise per training session should be for at least 15 minutes. If  
possible, a 20 to 30 minute session is better.  
If weight control (burning calories) is the purpose of your exercise,  
set the target pulse rate lower so that you can exercise easily. How-  
ever, extend your exercise time longer, preferably to over 30 min-  
utes.  
Hill profile training  
For this program, select the one of the three patterns that suits your  
needs. The incline is changed automatically depending on the shape  
of the mountain. The speed is not changed automatically, so you can  
adjust the speed however you like.  
The duration of one hill profile is 15 minutes. If your exercise time  
exceeds 15 minutes, the same hill profile will be repeated until the  
end of the session.  
Exercise per training session should be for at least 15 minutes. If  
possible, a 20 to 30 minute session is better.  
The exercise time (alarm) is initially set for 20 minutes, but you can  
change it in 1-minute increments to any value in the range from 0 to  
99 minutes. The current conditions on the LCD screen advance  
along the time scale once every 3 seconds. When 10 minutes is ex-  
ceeded, the screen will scroll leftward by 5 minutes.  
There may be those who choose to exercise beyond the pulse limit  
(200 - age) for their ages, depending on their training goals and  
physical conditions. If you choose to do so, use sufficient caution,  
and control your pulse rate.  
The incline is automatically changed to correspond to the shape of  
the hill profile. If needed, the incline can be further adjusted by  
pressing the INCLINE +/- buttons. Speed can be adjusted by press-  
ing the SPEED +/- buttons. Maintain comfortable speeds to match  
the changing incline.

Interval training  
This program is intended for serious exercisers with training experience.  
This training automatically changes the speed between "exercise (maxi-  
mum speed)" and "rest (minimum speed)." The incline does not change,  
so you can adjust the incline to suit your needs.  
Select one of the three patterns, depending on the training goal you are  
working for.  
This program is made up of repeated intervals of exercise (maximum  
speed) and rest (minimum speed). The rest speed is different depending  
on the pattern.  
Pattern 1:  
Rest speed is 30% of exercise (maximum) speed.  
Patterns 2, 3: Rest speed is 50% of exercise (maximum) speed.  
The incline can be adjusted by pressing the INCLINE +/- buttons. This  
program is hard training, so it is recommended that you try with zero in-  
cline at first.  
Exercise per training session should be for at least 15 minutes. If possible,  
a 20 to 30 minute session is better.  
The exercise time (alarm) is initially set for 20 minutes, but you can  
change it in 1-minute increments to any value in the range from 0 to 99  
minutes. The current conditions on the LCD screen advance along the  
time scale once every 3 seconds. When 10 minutes is exceeded, the screen  
will scroll leftward by 5 minutes.  
There may be those who choose to exercise beyond the pulse limit (200 -  
age) for their ages, depending on their training goals and physical conditions.  
If you choose to do so, use sufficient caution, and control your pulse rate.  
The intensity of the training can be adjusted by changing the exercise  
(maximum) speed.  
Caution: Although the speed can be adjusted when at rest (mini-  
mum) speed, this can sometimes result in the exercise  
(maximum) speed being increased to an unexpected high  
speed. The change of the speed should be kept small.  
Quick start (manual training)  
This program is for basic treadmill training. By pressing the QUICK but-  
ton, exercise begins at the lowest speed.  
This program is different from other training programs. In this program,  
the speed and incline are not pre-programmed; the speed and incline are  
adjusted by pressing the +/- buttons.  
Exercise per training session should be for at least 15 minutes. If possible,  
a 20 to 30 minutes exercise is better.  
Because the exercise time (alarm) is not set, you can end the program at  
any time. The current conditions on the LCD screen advance along the  
time scale once every 3 seconds. When 10 minutes is exceeded, the screen  
will scroll leftward by 5 minutes.  
There may be those who choose to exercise beyond the pulse limit (200 -  
age) for their ages, depending on their training goals and physical conditions.  
If you choose to do so, use sufficient caution, and control your pulse rate.  
Checking your exercise record  
After finishing your exercise, you can check the details (changes in speed, incline, and pulse rate) of your exercise on the  
LCD screen. If the exercise time exceeds 10 minutes, you can scroll the screen, by pressing either the INCLINE or  
SPEED +/- buttons, to view the details that are not shown on the screen.  
+ button: Details that are concealed on the right side will appear  
- button: Details that are concealed on the left side will appear  
Pressing the STOP button will end the program and erase the memory of your exercise.

7 MAKING A DATA CARD  
To record your training conditions on the data card, use a coin or similar  
object to scratch off the silver parts in the appropriate positions on the back  
of the card. The optical sensor in the control unit will detect the exposed  
positions. Now, try making your own data card.  
If you record your training conditions on this data card, you can set your  
training conditions by simply inserting the card into the card slot of the con-  
trol unit.  
You can start a program just by inserting the card, confirming your data, and  
pressing the START button.

Cautions on Handling the Data Card  
Caution: Treat the card with care. Do not bend the card. Do not allow the card to become wet.  
Scratch off only the appropriate silver parts on the back of the card. If other parts have been scratched off,  
the sensor will not be able to read the data.  
Wipe any remaining scraps of the scratched-off silver ink from the card before inserting the card into the  
control unit.  
The blank memo space on the card can be used as to record the user's data, name, etc.  
•If "CARD ERROR" appears on the screen when the card is inserted, check whether any incorrect or  
unnecessary parts have been scratched off.  
If you have scratched off an area by mistake, use typing correction fluid (white-out) to cover the transpar-  
ent space. Hold the card up to the light. If light doesn't pass through the space that you have covered up,  
the card can be used normally.

Maintenance of the chest-belt heart rate sensor  
For daily maintenance of the sensor:  
• If the chest-belt heart rate sensor is dirty, wash with water, or wipe with a diluted neutral detergent and a soft cloth.  
Then wipe it dry. Do not use organic solvents such as benzene and alcohol, which will damage the surface.  
• The attachment belt will become particularly soaked with sweat. This can be unhygienic if left as is. Clean the belt with  
a neutral detergent.
